Me: So, would you let a box of money in a truck drive away or help an old lady across the street?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grandboy (scoffs): Grandpa. I’d help the old lady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Me: Even if you knew you’d never get the money?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grandboy: Was it my money in the box?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Me: Does that matter?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grandboy: Well I’d need to know if I had to work harder to pay my bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Me: Well what if she was a mean old lady?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grandboy: How do you mean? Like mean to me or mean to everyone?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Me: Everyone. She trips little kids and laughs at them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grandboy: Well… I’d get the money and use it to visit her and maybe help her in the hospital.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
